Witness Wednesday!

This year was a big year for our program as we expanded to include 6th–8th grade students! The expansion was approved less than a week before school started, and then in October we lost our teacher following the bus accident. Between reorganizing volunteers, finding substitutes, and adjusting plans along the way, there were many moments when it felt like we were simply trying to make it through the year.

But God was at work.

While I won't share the personal stories these students entrusted to us, I can say that many of them carry burdens far heavier than children their age should have to bear. This year, they wrestled with difficult questions, learned about forgiveness, and discovered how God's truth speaks into real-life struggles.

One of the greatest blessings of our smaller class sizes was watching students process the challenges of the world through a biblical lens. Their growth, honesty, and willingness to engage in meaningful conversations were a beautiful reminder that even when circumstances feel difficult, God is still working in hearts.

What a privilege it has been to walk alongside them this year.

Please continue to pray for healing for Mrs. Jada and Mrs. Deb!

It has been almost 9 months since a driver ran off the road into our giant red bus. We are beyond grateful we hadn't left yet to pick up children. However we want to remember these two in prayer that are still healing from traumatic brain injuries and multiple body injuries that still prohibit normal daily life activities.

We miss them so much!
Mrs Deb had been with us as a driver but also volunteered in the classroom, helped with homework sheets, and was always willing to make a special treat for our LifeWise events! Deb and her family decided to give up Christmas gifts this past year and use the money to purchase a minibus for LifeWise so the kids can be secured in safety belts and booster seats from now on. She encourages us daily and wants to come back as a classroom volunteer when she is healed.

Mrs Jada was our middle school teacher and was planning to come back as an elementary teacher this fall. She has taught 5-8 grades and also a first-grade class and kindergarten class on Wednesdays, and made such an impact on the kids! She popped in to say hi this spring, and the kids were beyond elated to give her hugs and high fives! Unfortunately, with limited progress from her brain injury, she is not going to be able to come back this year.

These two women have hearts of Gold. They check in on this ministry and pray over your kids and community often! Please lift them up in prayer for complete healing in Jesus' name!
